poor air conditioninginconvenient outlet placement
the air conditioning in the room barely worked. this made it difficult to sleep comfortably. additionally, there was only one electrical outlet near the bed, really inconvenient for charging devices. this lack of outlets meant i had to unplug lamps to charge my phone.

It was my fourth visit, and the hotel continues to impress. the staff are very cute and kept the rooms cleaned daily when the door tag was visible. sunbeds became available around 8:30 am. Arriving a bit early ensured prime poolside spots for families. the hotel performances featured staff members.
